Discourses Upon
Art and Lincoln
English Dramatics View of
Americun Emancipator
Heard I Appreciative
Audience
An appreciative auilionec listened
to the lecture given yesterday after
noon at the Hotel Fontenclle by
John Drinkwatcr, the eminent Fn
plish poet and playwright. "An
r.nglish Drainatict's -View of Abra
l.ani Lincoln" was the' subject of the
iclcbratrd (Englishman's discourse.
I'rocedinis' his lecture Mr. Drink
water delighted his audience with the
reading of his poem, "A Town
Window," "List Confessional,"
"The Vagabond," "A Prayer" and
"Anthony Crandell."
"AVt i something that the world
usually supposes it can do without,"
began Mr. Drinkwatcr. "But every
body in the world gets some plea
sure from art even though he docs
not think so."
Universal Pleasure in Art.
lie acounted for this universal
pleasure in art by saying that every
mind is all the time absorbing great
' volumes of experience, which flow-
ii'g to the mind steadily remain ill
n chaotic state and are not under
stood. Then this large amount of
experience becomes an irritant to the
mind. It is therefore necessary to
crystallize this experience and thus
do away with, the chaos.
The function of the artist is to
.satisfy the craving of the mind to
realize its fullnofs and perfection bv
this process of crystallization. . Ho
takes. parts of experiences and gives
them lucid forms and shape in which
they then become intelligible.
Great For all Time.
''When . a man att?ins to public
leadership," said M. Drinkwatcr, "he
gradually begins to lose human sym
pathy and as soon as he does that
he fails to invest his, office with n
moral power. When he leaves of
fice, such a one is readdy forgotten.
"Once in a long whde we find a
man. whose mind is of a highly im
aginative character and he impresses
his greatness for all time."
In the opinion of Mr. Ddinkwater,
such a man was Abraham Lincoln,
'fhat is also why he was such a
good figure for a piny which Mr.
Drinkwatcr composed.
Mr. Drinlcwater asserted that Lin
coln probably attained his greatest
achievement when he freed the ne
groes of the south, because of" his
insatiate fondness for individual
liberty. '
He concluded his lecture by say
ing that it pleased him to be aware
of the existence of a mutual under
standing between England and
America, despite the superficially
prevalent opinion of the contrary.

Engineers Favor South
Site for Yutan Bndge
Investigations made by bridge and
road engineers show that at least
$200.0(5 would be saved by placing
the Yutan bridge across the Platte
river at a point known as the south
location, instead of the north loca
tion. A controversy on for years be-
ttt-ppii factions favnriniy the differ
ent locations is shaping itself into
a determined sentiment in tavor 01
the south location.

National Policv
Of Labor Unions
.To Be Considered
Executive Council of A. F. of
L. Will Meet Today at
Call of President
'Gompers.
Washington, D. C. Feb. 21. The
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor will meet to
morrow, preliminary to opening the
conference Wednesday of heads of
109 national and international labor
unions, called by President Samuel
Gompers to consider a "national pob
icy" in connection with the industrial
situation.
While the council meeting is not
expected to result in any definite de
velopment, it is regarded by labor
officials as of prime importance in
connection with the meeting the next
day.
Means of conducting an organized
movement against the "open shop"
will be the chief consideration of
the conference, according to Frank
Morrison, secretary of the federation.
Uie conference will consider the
publicity and other methods of our
opponents," he said, "and it is just
possible labor will launch an op
posing movement. Our opponents
are mistaken if they imagine they
nave made the slightest progress in
disrupting workers. I believe labor
will formulate a plan to expose the
pretense of men who are only in
terested in cheap labor and a contin
uation of a policy ef profiteering.
"The trade union ' movement is
alert to the forces arrayed anainst
it and proposes to act vigorously."
Wage reductions, recent develop
ments in anti-strike laws and com
pulsory arbitration are subsidary
propositions to be considered."
